[logback-user] Split logs to different files by MDC?

[Yura Levandovskyy]

Great, SiftingAppender seems to be what I need, once I can configure it correctly

Could you assist with rolling policy for it? I have a rolling policy that rolls over on size. Whether I put it in the sifting appender 

(<appendername="SIFT"class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">) 

or one of the generated ones

(<appendername="FILE-${userid}"class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">)
it seems to have no effect in either case. The rolling policy works fine in a separate FileAppender. Is it possible to add a rolling policy for a sifting appender, am I missing something?

Thank you.

I'd suggest to re-write the expression as

    ((String))mdc.get("variable").matches("/test/")

Are you familiar with SiftingAppender? It seems to address a use case 
similar to yours.
HTH,
